I think my fingers are cramped now... I managed 3061 points for 5th place out of 6, but I fittingly came through with a huge 2:11 for 3rd in the 800m! I had great races going in the 100h and 200 but lost my rhythm mid-way through... Those jumps and javelin are a mystery to me, as alternating between the B and N keys makes it rather difficult to hold the space bar and maintain any speed to speek of. I had a nearly 16m shot put in practice, but only managed 12.75m in competition... First one to 4000?

I went back for seconds and still ended up 5th (3560), although I only missed 4th by 10 points this time... I got 2nd in the 800 despite running out of gas with about 50m to go and having to walk for a bit, but I was well behind the winner's stellar 1:55...

Well, 4th time was the charm ... almost. I scored 4432, but still missed 4th place by 200 points. I pr'd in the him jump and had near bests in the jav, long jump, 800, and 200, but lost nearly 700 points on a foul in the long jump (I wanna see the plasticene!) that would have added 2m or more... Something about the 100h and 200 absolutely kills me in that game. I can smoke the 800 at WR paces, but I've only broken 32 seconds once in the 800 and only sub-18 a couple of times in the hurdles. What gives?

Yeah, I feel almost as sorry for those B and N keys as for my poor fingers... Looking at those top scores, I have to think people have found some way to fool the B-N toggle system. Maybe some automatic key stroke to make the game think they're being toggled faster than humanly possible?

#5 finally got me a 4th place... 4534 points, with improvements in the HJ (1.84m) and SP (16.80m), with a 2:03 for 800m. I ran a practice 200m first, finishing in 27.20. Amazingly, I was right on the leader's heels, on pace for a 24-flat, until I inexplicably stopped moving right at the end. Thinking I had finally figured out the rhythm to the 200, I started the actual game and stumbled through a start and stop 38.x! That thing is a complete mystery to me.
